Relative measure of wealth reminds me: When I was a boy on tobacco farms in
Nash County, NC, my measure of a "rich" farmer was his tobacco trucks - the
little mule-drawn trucks that hauled the tobacco leaves from the fields to
the curing barns where a crew, usually women and girls/children, would
"loop" (attach with cotton string) them onto sticks to facilitate hanging
the leaves into the barns. Our trucks were home-made and rode on 2 X 6
(sometimes, 2 X 4) wooden slide "runners." "Rich" farmers had wheels on
their store-bought, factory-built trucks.

What is the basis of the implied assumption that the rich (generally
understood to mean anyone with more than me) should not have the same
Constitutional protections as the poor?

Wouldn't it be way fairer to soak the rich through application of a

pay these fines, as a means of shouldering the cost of governing.
